This is a funny reminder for writers! Have you seen the writing pages "photos"? One of them is a flashing message, which I thought was hysterical. I need the reminder. It says punctuation saves lives. Let's eat Grandpa! and Let's eat, Grandpa!. Well, that's two different meanings. LOL Do you find you sometimes forget punctuation?

I thought this was absolutely hysterical. I had to write this and see if others have even noticed it.

Are you talking about the photos people have uploaded on myLot in the writing interest category?

Yes. It's in the photo section and it is the middle one that changes as you watch. I think it is so funny. To think, I could have killed someone off without a comma. LOL

Oh my, what have you done again?! Please dont eat all the tadpoles, we need them to separate the sentences. No wonder the poor grandpa got eaten, all because of you kidnapping the tadpoles. Please catch more frogs and breed more tadpoles, for the sake of better English language. Ask all the writing ghosts and naughty ghosts to stay away from the tadpoles oh. we need them for commas.

Tadpoles make commas? What does one use for fishing bait? Goldfish? LOL I do not know if I want to catch frogs. YUCK! Can't we send out some children for this venture? I can't send my son, he will just go swimming and forget about the frogs. I can't send my daughter, she will just rescue animals along the way. LOL

LOL! I probably would'nt have paid any attention if you hadn't pointed that out! Punctuation is important. I tend to use too many commas, instead of not enough.

I go one way one time and will turn around and do the opposite the next time. LOL I thought it was so funny that I couldn't help but to say something about it. LOL I am glad everyone is kind of like me and didn't really notice it. I don't know how long it has been there. It sure is funny though.

I'm way to fond of commas and dashes and forget to end sentences - run on is my middle name... well, sort of

LOL. As long as you have commas and dashes, I guess run on sentences are okay. LOL If someone called me run-on that was close to me no one would know if they meant sentences or my mouth. LOL

I am glad this made you laugh as well. I thought it was funny because sometimes I have these mistakes. Usually, I get events mixed up when I am talking, but it's worse if I have killed someone off with a comma. LOL

From your example, punctuation could kill/save someone. LOL It's just too funny.
